The video you are about to watch is unlike anything we've ever done.

Walking is something most of us take for granted every day.

But for millions of amputees all around the world, they don't have that same luxury.

But in this video, for 2,000 people, that is about to change.

When he first got sick, they didn't even think he would live another year.

And to kick things off, we're going to help Stephanie.

How long has it been since you've been able to walk on your own?

Almost 15 years since you've been able to walk on your own.

Well, we might have something that can change that.

For the first time in 15 years, Stephanie is actually walking.

Does it warm your heart to be able to see her move around again?

I'm just glad that she's going to be able to get to do something she wants to, not be a prisoner anymore.

You guys can look each other in the eyes now.

It felt so good to be able to help Stephanie and her family.

It's been seven months since you were able to walk.

And we helped David, Adrian, Linda, and Carrie.

But to be honest, we could not have pulled this off without the help of some incredible people.

What's a typical cost for someone to get a prosthesis like this?

And it sounds crazy, but most of the people in this video either cannot afford insurance or did not have adequate coverage.

Meaning if we didn't step in, they might not have ever walked again.

And if insurance doesn't cover that, what do you do?

You hope and fundraise and pray that someone like you comes along.

Wait, to buy this on your own would have taken 10 years?

That's, Chandler, obviously that's not OK.

So we're going to send you home with $10,000.

This is a day in my life I would never forget.

You came in with one leg, and now you're leaving with two and a briefcase full of money.

You can walk again, and you don't have the financial burden.

As we learn through this process, when you lose your ability to walk, you also lose the ability to do life's most basic tasks, something that Greg knows all too well.

Everything's twice as hard as it used to be.

I played tennis all the time with the family, but I'd be happy just being able to stand up and do the dishes.

When you're an amputee, everyday activities can feel like insurmountable tasks.

But for Travis, there's a special occasion coming up that he just can't do sitting down.

My daughter's been planning a wedding since she was three, four years old.

I've always dreamed of having my dad walk me down the aisle.

Do you mind telling us a little bit about yourself?

Yeah, I used to run six, seven days a week if I was bored.

I had osteomyelitis, and that's how I lost my feet.

How long has it been since you were able to walk normally?

Are you guys excited to see him walk again?
